Considerable complaint has recently been heard
from the farmers OF Maryland and Virginia who
make periodical trips to this city for the sale Of
their produce. It has always been tho custom
among the market managers here to allow these
people-that is, those who actually grow the stun
which they seA-tO occupy spaces on the streets
for the purposes Of their trade with but nominal
charge and there has never been any license re.
Quired from these men. A huckater, however Is
required by the municipal regulations to pay SIS
per annum for the privilege Of vending vegetables
and other goods on the public streeta 70 tar it
might look as though the cause for complaint lies
on the side OF the lusty-voiced huckster, but q
closer examination Of the matter shows that the
1T Is manifestly just that the farmer should be
given advantages over the hui ckster by exempt
Ing c nun from t taxation remarked one Of the
other day to STAR reporter. "You could see In
moment the difference between the stun that Is
to distinguish between them. The object Of the
distinction made by the law is to encourage the
farmers to come here with their produce. They
and measures for honest prices and their goods
are always fresh-usually gathered the evening
before 1s sney y, come to town. AS say, one can +
goods and those Of the farmer. And there ia the
cause OF the latter's complaint. Some OF the
hucksters, who never 60 mile beyond the Bound
airy, are taking advantage Of this exemption In
favor OF the farmers, and thus avoid the payment
OF the license fee and yet retain all OF their priv
iieges They work II this way: Late at night
they go around and buy up lots Of stun from
everybody that viii SELL and usually get it cheap
stun that Is left over and that the farmers are
only anxious TO get rid OF. The next morning
they come here, sprinkle their produce SO that It
looks fresh and dewy, and arrange it In tempting
array In the approved hucSster manner; that is,
with the good stun on top and the poor pieces at
the bottom. They take their stand side by side
with the farmers, and to all intenrs and purposes
they are genuine countrymen. Their prices do
not exceed those OF the farmers and there Is moth
ing to 6etray them to the casual purchaser. Thus
you see they avoid the fee and reap the farmers
Dement'S. That is what the countrymen CON-
plain Of"
"But is there nothing to be done about it," asked
the reporter.
"Only this, was the reply; "that we drive them
away from the market as far as we can. Let us
walk down street, and Can show you what we
do and what We can't do"

Our mother is sleeping So free from pain,
., wake her not, sweet spirit to suffer
She slumbers 50 soundly, o, let her sleep
on
Her sutlerings are ended and her troubles
all gone.
OH think how she suffered and groaned
with pain,
In the long night hours, as we soothed her
in vain;
Till God in his mercy sent down from above
An angel that whispered message Of love.
Farewell, mother, thou art gone forever.
Tear-dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain:
We shall hear thy voice, o never,
Never more on earth again.
Mother, thOu art gone and We are left
The loss Of thee to deeply mourn;
But may we hope TO meet with thee
With our Saviour before Gods throne.
There no more to part forever,
There again to near thy voice;
Tears and sorrow come the never,
And we viii altogether rejoice.

THE LOSING STRTKERS,


The strikes throughout the coun-
try have beeen terminating disast.
rously to the strikers. In New York
the law has created Board of Ar
bitration, but when the Board arriv
ed they were told there was no moth
ing to arbDitrate, that the men had
quit work and they had filled their
places. So it is. We are informed
there are men in this town waiting,
looking and hoping for something to
occur by which they can fill vacan-
cies and obtain employment. In
speaking of the coke strike the Bal,
timore american we'll says:
"The great Pennsylvania coke
strike which has been on since May
4th, comes to an end to-day by the
unconditional surrender of the strik-
ers. They have lost 100000 in mon
ey and an indefinite amount in de.
moralization and Indebtedness, and
are now anxious lest they should not
be able to secure the wages against
which they struck. There can be no
more pointed commentary on the
folly of strikes.

TIE D. a o. Dell OFE.

After weeks and months Of specu-
lation and wild conjecture as to the
sale of the B. & 0. Railroad, Mr..
Robert Garrett announces that he
never purchased the Johns Hopkins
block Of stock or any other large
blocks and that al! negotiations for
the sale ofthe road are ended. We pre-
sumo that the holders ola few shares
got rid of them, in other words, the
little fish were eaten by the big fish,
Who got hurt in the. big option is
unknown. There must have been a
cause for Mr.. Garrett to expose for
sale the work of his fathers life and
it remains to be seen if the cause has
been removed.
Since writing the above the tele-
graph brings the intelligence that
Messrs. Ives and Stayner, the con
tracing parties have brought two
suits against Mr. Garrett. One &C
ton is for specific performance of
contract and the other is for pecuni-
airy damages for the breaking of his
contract. So the end is not yet.

AT meeting of the Citizens Fire
Co., on motion vote of thanks was
rendered the Martinsburg Fire CO., and
all the good people of the old "burg"
for their very kind attention to our
every want, cordial reception, and
whole-souled hospitality.
To Messrs. Roberts, Thomas and
others of the Firemen's Committee,
through you we desire to express the
same by saying that should we ever
have an occasion to return the compli-
ments we hope to have you as our spec
ial guests, and will try in part to make
your visit to us as pleasant as was ours
on the Fourth in Martinsburg.
And to the ladies', God bless them,
who graced the occasion with their
presence, whose bright smiling faces so
welcomed, and whose beautiful, fair
hands so beautifully fed us of their
sumptuous feast which was fit for the
Gods, and on the march the approving
chances from the battery of bright eyes
that were on every side, caused the
pulse to quicken and the heart to warm
for them, under the red shirt of many a
manly fire laddie. The remembrance
of them will always have warm place
in the hearts of all the boys of the Citi-
zens Fire Company.
And to the good people of the good
town of Martinsburg, may peace and
prosperity forever dwell within her
gates, and all her days be as pleasant as
was July 4th, 1857, is the sincere wish
of all the members of the Citizens Fire
